A dusty old home gets back its charm

Built in the 1880s on the foundations of a burnt down building, this house was suffering from a rusty basement infrastructure. But after a
detailed inspection by the architects at Studio D11, it was found that a
holistic renovation was essential. Layouts were made more modern and open, and
the two floors of the house were interlinked stylishly. But during the makeover
process, some old charming elements were retained for an elegant and unique
look. Read on to know more.

Before: Mundane entrance

After: Charming and warm

Hoofdentree

By removing the door and creating a stylish arch with moulding above, the entrance now looks charming. The wooden
floor offers warmth, while the carpeted staircase going upstairs is very
sophisticated.

Before: Weary living

After: Bright and cosy

Zitkamer

Large glass windows now flood the simple and chic living space with lots of sunlight, while wooden flooring makes
it a cosy space to relax and entertain. In-built shelves offer storage space,
and a modern fireplace keeps you warm during winters. The bright red chairs add
a trendy touch.

After: Stylish and practical

Bibliotheek

In-built floor to ceiling shelves all around make the library a very exciting space for bookworms now. The walls
and furniture are in white so that the room appears bright and spacious. The carpet
adds a vibrant touch though.

After: Soothing bedroom

Slaapkamer

Plush textiles, minimal furnishing, and a green accent wall make the bedroom soothing as well as lively. Pure white
walls and wooden flooring make a timeless combination, while a stylish lamp
adds aesthetic pleasure.
